# Rayquaza #XY64 — XY Black Star Promos

## Summary

Rayquaza is the Hoenn sky dragon fans have loved since Ruby and Sapphire, and a promo bearing Mitsuhiro Arita's name carries extra weight, since he illustrated the very first Pokémon cards. Promos like this one were never pack pulls, which shapes how collectors treat them. At a $66 modelled guide, with 45 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.38 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA has slabbed 1,024 of these and only 2 are 10s, a 0.2% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
